Among the Tall Grass

I'm a tree on a hill
with no soft breaths between.
Where I am, where I stood,
it remains to be seen.

Who I could have been
had I known your embrace,
It's give a boost to my mood
and a smile on my face.

But alone I stand
among the tall grass.
Alone on this land.
I miss your sweet laugh.

The wind blows hard,
not so hard as I fell.
As I took my leap,
you took me right to hell.

Left me exposed
to the sun, wind, and sand.
Whenever I asked,
you took away your hand.

The roots are shallow,
and the water runs deep.
So here I'll stand
as I take my final sleep.

And alone I stand
among the tall grass.
Alone on this land.
Don't miss your sweet laugh.
